CHAPTER 46

“I HATE BEING LATE,” said Hugh as they arrived at Benedictine’s house. “Especially, this much.” He brushed a fleck of dust from his jacket.

“Stop fussing,” said Buddy. “The party started less than an hour ago.”

They’d stopped and dropped off Tim and Jackson about a half mile back. The two would make their way to Benedictine’s through the woods then wait outside. If everything went well, the two groups would meet at the Lake of Sins after the party.

He and Buddy stepped out of the carriage.

“I don’t see many Guards,” he smirked. “Do you think Benedictine had to borrow the few that are here?”

“Cocky bastard.” Buddy shot him a look and shook his head.

He grinned and sauntered up to the door. It was immediately opened by a middle aged House Servant.

“High Hugh Truent and Guard,” he said to the Servant, rolling his eyes at Buddy when the House Servant checked the list. He hated the formality that the Almightys insisted upon.

“Guards are back there.” The House Servant stepped aside and pointed down a hallway toward the back porch.

“I guess this is where we part ways,” he said, grinning.

“Control yourself,” warned Buddy.

“But that wouldn’t be any fun.” He walked toward the living room. “I’ll holler if I need you.”

A passing female House Servant offered him a glass of champagne.

“Whiskey, please,” he said, refusing the drink.

She nodded and went to the bar.

The house was of modest size but well appointed. Benedictine’s wife must have a taste for decorating. It definitely wasn’t done by Benedictine. There were about twenty or so Almightys mingling around. Kim was talking to a few young people. Viola should be around here somewhere.

The House Servant brought him the whiskey and he took a small sip. Better keep his head clear just in case things didn’t go as planned.

Benedictine walked up behind him and slapped him on the back. “Hugh, so glad you could make it. I wasn’t sure...you know with how things worked out. But glad you made it nonetheless.”

He forced a smile. What did Benedictine mean by that? Maybe, nothing. The other Almighty had already been drinking quite a lot that evening.

Benedictine grabbed two glasses of champagne from a passing Servant and handed one to him even though he already had the whiskey.

“Here try the champagne. It’s excellent. To my son’s health.” Benedictine tapped the glasses together and then tossed back the liquid.

He couldn’t refuse that toast. He took a small sip. The champagne was pretty good which was surprising since Benedictine wasn’t known for his generosity and the champagne was flowing freely around the party.

“Have you seen my boy?” Benedictine looked around the room.

“Not yet, but I just arrived.” That was odd. Being the star of the night, he would have expected the lad to be present. Maybe, Jethro was overly tired from his surgery. He swallowed the rest of the champagne. Or perhaps the boy was hiding in the back and growing claws and a shell like Scar. No telling what Conguise had injected into him.
